Aaah, urinate on Tolkien. You'd think he invented the pencil, for Pete's sake. I've read the books, I've seen the movies. Repeatedly.
I like Feist's Riftwar Saga MUCH better.
I like anything by James Clavell better (political intrigue).
I like Robin Hobb's Farseer books better.
I even like C. S. Lewis better, even if his allegory gets a trifle thick at times.
Tolkien is so overrated.
